So kind of like Karl Malone, but better?

He is more Lamar Odom than Karl Malone.

Like a mixture of poor man's Odom and poor man's Malone, I guess that would be an OK comp.

One of the best indicators of world class athleticism is how a player can contort their body in the air to get a controlled shot off. Randle looks like he has that ability.

Not sure I agree with the former, but certainly do the latter.

And in the game of the highlight video, he only scored 12 points on 12 shots and only got to the FT line once. Not exactly a very good performance.

Can Randle actually make his mid-range jumpshot consistent?

Can he develop a right hand?

Has to do those 2 things and he could be an All-Star. I still think he is a super easy player to guard for most NBA starters. He will expose mismatches well though because he can abuse SF's masquerading as PF's and he can take slow big men off the dribble who aren't smart defensively (Kanter types).

I typically agree with your assessments of UK players, softened by your obvious dislike for any UK player.
You have decent analysis, I admit, but you are WAY glass half empty if it's a UK player. It's ok, tho, lil bro.

don't the lakers need a pg. offer kanter and Burke.

Only way Randle gets traded is for a super-star. Laker's don't trade for borderline starters.

Randle will become an All Star one way. All that #HUNGER will take him a long way. Book it.

Lamarcus Aldridge
Blake Griffin
Anthony Davis

Those dudes have more talent and play in the same conference and at the same position and I don't see any of those 3 leaving the West anytime soon.
